“I’ve thought about that Anderson, believe me. Clover won’t let me cancel her journey. She is desperate to belong.” Tobin shakes his head but doesn’t speak. He’s the groups thoughtful quiet one. When he speaks everyone listens but still he holds his tongue. Yanto fills the gap.
“I’ve only met her once but I can tell she’s head strong. Does she even connect that those wolves were after her?” I shake my head.
“No, she thought it was a freak accident and that were were lucky in our escape. She thinks I hate her.” Now Tobin speaks.
“Can you blame her? You’re 6’5 and look like a psychotic beast when you’re angry. You’ve been breathing fire ever since she set foot on our land, bullying, badgering and threatening her every chance you got.” I can’t stop the glare I give Tobin but damn him I know he is right… and he’s not done yet.
“I don’t know what you’re so angry about but you need to snap out of it before you run her off for good. One of us needs to go with you, we can stay in wolf form as a scout, she’ll never know.” Oh he’s one to talk about running a girl off.
“I’m working it out Tobin you’re one to talk though. How’s Leilani doing these days?” Tobin's chest immediately thrusts out and he’s ready to fight. Yanto steps between us and puts a finger to my chest.
“Low blow Levi watch yourself before I let him kick your ass.” Taking a deep breath I pace and walk up to Tobin.
“I’m sorry that was uncalled for. I’m being an asshole all around. There’s no excuse for what I said. You can hit me if you like?” Unexpectedly Tobin strikes out clipping me square in the jaw. The power he put in his punch spun me around and had me on the floor. Damn, that’s going to leave a mark. That will teach me to open my big mouth. Tobin has been after Leilani for years. She came to the Rez seeking safety and protection from an ex stalker boyfriend. Leilani was beaten, battered and even raped by that worthless human. Being a petite she fox, self defense isn’t one of her strong suits. I know she wants him but is to scared to admit it. Of all the places she could stay on the Rez she choose to stay on Tobin’s land. Hell he even built her, her own home next to his. Word has it that when she gets really upset she stays in his house.
Lately he has been really quick to anger which isn’t like him at all so something has to be brewing. Pulling myself to my feet I lick the blood from my lip.
“I deserved that… Who wants to be my scout?” Tobin looks ready to jump on it and I stop him quick.
“Not you my brother, Leilani needs you close by. She is who you need to be with.” Tobin nods but doesn’t look pleased.
“I’ll go, I’m the fastest. Someone is going to have to relieve me though I have a tour coming up. I have to go meet with the woman today, she bought all 10 slots for herself.” Smith is always so quick to point out our flaws. Anderson grunts and gives...
